Trout went 1-for-3 with three walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-6 win over the Rangers in 12 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Though stolen base totals and success rates have been ticking up league-wide in 2023 thanks in part to the implementation of the pitch clock, Trout hasn't reversed his downward-trending production on the basepaths. In fact, Monday marked the first time he had even attempted to steal a base all season. With both of Trout's last two seasons having been derailed by injuries, the 31-year-old will most likely continue to be selective about when he chooses to run, mainly for preservation purposes. He's certainly still capable of stealing bases when he wants to; according to Baseball Savant, Trout's Statcast-measured sprint speed still places him in the top four percent of all players.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Trout's gotten off to a sluggish start in June, going just 3-for-21 (.143) with five walks over the first six games of the month. He homered five times over the last two weeks of May, but Wednesday's blast was his first long ball in June. It's likely little more than a blip on the radar for the star outfielder, who's maintained a .265/.363/.500 slash line with 14 homers, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases through 59 contests this season.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Trout opened the scoring Wednesday with a two-run, 461-foot bomb off Lance Lynn in the first inning. The homer is Trout's fifth in his last 13 games -- he's gone 14-for-48 with a 1.018 OPS in that span. It's been another productive season for the 10-time All-Star. Trout's now slashing .278/.369/.522 with 13 homers, 36 runs scored and 31 RBI through 236 plate appearances this year.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight game Trout smacked a homer to bring his season total to 12. Despite the homers, Trout hasn't had a great May slashing .227/.318/.440 this month. Trout has been so consistently good throughout his career that his .891 OPS in 2023 would be the lowest since his debut season in 2011.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis

For the season, Trout is batting .275 with an .883 OPS, 11 homers, 25 RBI and 32 runs scored. He hasn't attempted a stolen base through 46 games.

Trout isn't starting Friday against the Twins, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After hitting home runs in back-to-back games, Trout earned himself a day off Friday. He'll be replaced in center field by Mickey Moniak, who will lead off for the Angels.

Trout went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He was the only Halos hitter to solve Kyle Bradish on the night, launching his ninth long ball of the year in the fourth inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1. Trout snapped an 11-game homer drought with the performance, a stretch in which he batted just .214 (9-for-42) with one RBI.

Trout (elbow) will start in center field and bat second in Monday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trout was out of the lineup for Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians due to soreness in his non-throwing elbow, but his ability to enter the game as a pinch hitter suggested he wasn't at much risk of missing further time. Even though Trout is currently sporting an .872 OPS -- his lowest mark since his debut season in 2011 -- fantasy managers can feel comfortable inserting him in lineups this week.

Trout, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, is dealing with some soreness in his left elbow, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was already a planned off day for Trout, and it's good timing for some rest after he was hit by a pitch in the left elbow during Saturday's contest. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and the 31-year-old should be back in the lineup for the Angels within the next couple days. Mickey Moniak is manning center field in Sunday's series finale at Cleveland.
